I'm using different PHP interpreters on my system and found the need to specify the <phplint> task which interpreter to use. I'm having interpreter with and without namespace, gc and scalar hinting patches and need to explicitly specify which one to use.
Although Phing itself can be run with a different interpreter easily, the PhpLintTask doesn't take advantage of so I included this also.
I added a new phing default property php.command which is set from the environment PHP_COMMAND.
PhpLintTask upon initialization defaults to the new property but can be overridden with the interpreter-Attribut.
Documentation is updated with the patch too.
